Abstract: The paper is based on qualitative research, studying and synthesising theoretical and empirical analyses. The research results illustrates and stress the importance of the connection and dependence of the governance of the TE on the national or system level, and management of TEIs with emphasis on providing employable graduates to economy and society. The main contribution of this research is an empirical analysis, which uncovers the attributes and weaknesses of TE labour market and their divergence, incoherence and failure. We found far more should be done to synchronize: TE policies, employment policies and TEIs management, which leads to the achievement of TE policies and objectives on an institutional level and would definitely contribute to better employability of graduates, satisfaction of social needs, higher quality of TE and better use of (public) funds.
